I was talking to a friend of mine about dealing with Taylor and how we'd have to address Eckler. I mentioned the heavy nickel stuff we do and how teams just kinda have to do more of that against pass-catching backs and how it can be pretty effective against teams like SD who don't have a true threat to dominate between the tackles.

Then I thought about the Chiefs. And CEH's ability to run inside. And the fact that even a heavy nickel is going to need to allocate that box safety to Kelce so CEH will STILL be unaccounted for.

Then I realized you really cannot use the Chiefs to discuss how a defense needs to gameplan against mere mortals because this team cannot be gameplanned against. It just can't. You can't have a heavy nickel with the box safety on CEH because Kelce will murder you. If you put him on Kelce, CEH will kill you out of the backfield. If you put a safety on Kelce and a lighter, more athletic Will on CEH, Osemele will knock his ass into the sun and CEH will run it up the middle for 12.

Oh, and Mahomes may just decide to change it at the line or Reid will dial up an RPO and Mahomes will pull it to go downfield to Hill for 60. Or Watkins for 15. Or even Robinson/Hardman on some playground shit for 25.

What. Do. You. Do?

I mean...I think I kinda understand this game and I have NOTHING for this damn team. Just nothing at all. You can call the right plays and still just not have enough guys on the field to succeed. You can call the right play and have a 90% execution rate and our friggen wizard at QB will find the one dude that failed (because someone always fails, especially against elite talent) and get him the ball.

I do not envy DCs in this league man. This team can't be gameplanned unless you just have 4 all-pros on your DL and make Mahomes life hell. But if Reiter, Osemele and Wylie play like they played last week, event hat won't be enough.

I've never seen anything like it.
